what there is an abundance of gas but
three or four miles west OF us, and it is
not difficult to recognize that it will be
greatly to the interests OF all our people

field. If competition is the lifeiof trade
VIC should by all means encourage this

M00D COUNTY REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.
The Largest Ever Held In the County.

The Wood County Republican Con.
vention was called to order al 10 o'clock
in the Park east of Bowling Green on
Tuesday. The large number of candi-
dates in the field for the nine offices TO
be filed was mainly the cause of the
large delegations that came flocking in
from all the townships, although there
was u dcop.seatcd feeling on the part Of
the Taxpayers to get around and see
how the business WAS done.
AS our help in the office has been very
scarce since the convention we can give
only the net results this week.
The whole number in the convention
was diS. Necessary to choice, 2l0.
There were about 1000 voting for DO
candidates, which had to be reduced to
fractions in votes and to reduce the 40
candidates to In nominations.
This was accomplished through very
spirited contest lasting until 7P.M,
with the following rcsult
Representatives, George B. Spencer.
Auditor-John b. Wilson.
Probate Judge Frank NJ. Young.
Clerk Alanson l.. Muir.
William r. Moves.
Observation-Disclosures S. Parker.
ommissioner-Jacob Stahl.
Infrmary Director-Wilson Patterson
Coroner-Andrcw j. 0rme.
We have heard no complaint in the
manner in which the ticket was nomin.
ated except on Representative. DR..
Spencer was nominated by one and a
fraction over General Day. General Day
has the names of eighteen parties in
Weston Township who voted for him,
but on motion of some one the votes
were dumped out of the hat and the
vote of that township was put in solid
for DIR. Spencer. When reduced this
would have nominated General Day by
two votes. These facts we learned be
fore leaving Bowling Green.

The Cost of Nobility.

Brooklyn Eagle: Labouchere says that
the twenty-eight dukes, thirty-three mar
quises and 200 earls OF the House OF
Lords have received from the tax-payers
OF Great Britain since 1850 the aggregate
sum of f66, 100000 and odd-n round
numbers some S330000,000. BY way of
earning this handsome sum OF money he
says that they have opposed, rejected and
mutilaied every bull sent up TO them in
the interest OF the people-Obstruciing. as

of the enfranchise, the reformation OF

signed for the good OF the public, instead
Of the protection OF their grasping and ra-

GOVERNMENT.

Mankind are not bound to respect any
power which does not rest ON the basis
Of right. It is matter Of congratulation
to the human race thas such power is
welded in the government of the world.
The Judge of the earth will do right.
This cardinal truth should be impressed
upon the mind of every person.
Another truth OF equal Importance
should never be forgotten. This power,
which ia ever on the side Of right, is al
mighty. It is by far the strongest force
in the universe. All other forces must
eventually be overcome. The right will
prevail. Let all the forccs of wrong
doing in the whole universe combine to-
gcther; they arc doomed TO an igno-
minious, everlasting defeat. Often times
in this world among morlals the contlic,
seems to be unequal and doubtful.
Truth seems to fall to the ground. But
although the wicked join hand in
hand, they shall not go unpuntshed.
Clouds and darkness may be about
Jehovah's throne but justice and mercy
control the universe. All human gov
ernments should be based on these fun
damental truths. All the elements of
earth, air and sea are leagued against
wrong-doing. Wrong-doers are fight
ing against the thunderbolts of high
heaycn. The lightnings will blast them.
The waves of the sea will overwhelm
them, the earth will open her mouth
and swallow them up, or the universal
messenger of death will summon them
to the Judgement seat. There is no dis
charge In this warfare. In earth, heaven
and hell wrongs must be righted up.
There is no place where the workers of
iniquity can hide themselves Which
way soever they may turn omnipotence
confronts them. Sure death-temporal,
spiritual and eiernal-will terminate q
career of crime and lawlessness. The
rebel must die. Heaven, earth, hell,
God, man, and the devil himself, so de-
cree. The devilishness of devils gov
ernment is manifest in this. He tempt'
men to do wrong and then bedevils them
for so doing. This grim despot is Tho
most unmerciful prosecutor of criminals
to be found anywhere in the universe Of
God. lie does not wait for the jury tt
bring in the verdict OF guilty, but chase'
his victim with day d. ans of remorse
and torments him with terrible nigh
visions. The wicked are like the troub
led sea whose waters cast up mire anI
dirt. His head, his heart, his imagina
tion, his memory, his conscience-all Az
against him. He longs for humiliation
and often commits suicide in the vain
hope of getting rid of himself, and b.
that rash act reveals to himself the fes
tering hideousness of his own Grimm
ality.
The governments of Pharoah, Nero
Borgia, and Herod put those tyrants in
charnal house of ghosts whose chatter
ing teeth hissed out and out the blood
murders and tormenting crimes whicI
they would have been only too glad t
forget. Let modern criminals take note
The South cannot escape the common
doom. The North must meet its fate
Georgia is strong, but omnipotence
stronger. Cease then to do evil ant
learn to do well. CIvIs.
